I cut my hair for two reasons: The heat is diabolical in Mississippi and my go to hairstyle is a messy ponytail which I am very sick of. So I got it cut. It hasn't been this short since I lived in Lincoln. This is the first haircut that I actually like since my BFF Kristen used to cut my hair with grace and skill in graduate school. Though I still wish she cut my hair or simply just lived close enough to cut my hair. Or really, I just want her to live closer. period. I felt like I was living out the title of one of my favorite record albums when we left Lincoln for Mississippi and I didn't cut my hair for two years because it was easier than finding someone new.
This drawing also pays homage to all of the floating hair illustrations I have been seeing this summer. Check it: Floating Hair one, Floating Hair two and my student Beverly who made these drawings way back at the beginning of the spring semester to accompany a typeface for a project I assigned. HAIR! EVERYWHERE! I LOVE IT!

i saw this just a few days ago. not mine, though. floating hair gone wild!
